About
The Art Gallery of New South Wales, often shortened to AGNSW, is an art museum in Sydney, Australia. Its address is Art Gallery Road, in the city's central area, NSW 2000, and its collections are arranged across several exhibition spaces.
What you will find
The gallery's holdings cover three broad areas: Australian art, European art, and Asian art. Visitors can see both historical and contemporary works, so a single visit can move from older pieces to recent ones and from one region's traditions to another's.
- Australian art, including historical and contemporary works
- European art
- Asian art
- Temporary and changing exhibitions across multiple galleries
Planning a visit
The gallery suits anyone interested in art, whether you come for a specific region or simply want to wander through a range of periods. Because the collections are spread over several spaces, allow enough time to move between them at an unhurried pace. For current opening hours, admission details, and what is on display, contact the gallery directly by phone at +61 2 9225 1700 before you set out.
Sydney's central business and harbour districts surround the gallery, so it can easily be combined with other stops in the city. Its position in the centre makes it a practical choice for a half-day or longer visit alongside whatever else brings you to the area.
